Labor Day Weekend 2010

Did the weekend go fast for everyone else?  Isn't Labor Day supposed to consistent of having the day off from "labor"?  Ours was one filled with travel to Colorado which consisted of two goals: go to a wedding and visit Grandma and Grandpa Cook.  The wedding we attended was for Jamie Herrmann and Chase Johnson.  Jamie was a student at Creighton and president of the student government I advise.  We have stayed in touch since she graduated and had a great time at the wedding.  The reception was at The Wildlife Experience in south Denver.  We will definitely be taking Evan there in the future to visit and explore.

Evan spent quality time with Grandma and Grandpa.  Playing outside, a lot, and visiting the pasture south of Brush.  Although the report was he slept most of the time, this was his first visit to see the cows.  He also got to hang out with his great-grandparents and spend some quality time with them.  Great-Grandpa Cook showed him some new tricks on how to make a horn sound with any given toy.  New words this weekend include "yellow" and "truck" since we saw so many on the interstate.  We have also mastered "lawnmower" after watching the neighbors cut their lawn recently.

Our visit was quick but a lot of fun.  It seemed like we lived in the car the entire time but we were able to visit everyone because we will not be able to make the trip again until Christmas.  A few pictures from the weekend are included below.
